Hello ladies! I hope all is going well for everyone, especially with the holidays right around the corner! I know one thing every girl is excited for about going away to school is meeting boys. Yes, I can guarantee that your many years of school you will meet various welcoming, funny, amazingly gorgeous boys. However, today I wanted to talk to you about guys to be wary of in your first year, especially the first semester, of college. It's important to be on the lookout for any or all of these guys and know how to avoid them!

First, we have the too-friendly upperclassmen. This guy is obviously a lot older than you and will definitely approach you when you're alone. Often times when you make it clear that you aren't interested, they respond with some form of "Well we can at least be friends, can't we?" If you want this kind of friend more power to you, but they're usually just a creep with the ultimate goal of hooking up.

There is also the persistent "friend". It's usually girls in a relationship have trouble with this one, but I know of single girls who have run into this type as well. Knowing this from personal experience, this guy will just try to be your friend at first. Then when you get comfortable with them they will ask for more and, if you deny them, your "friendship" usually fizzles out. They may talk to you occasionally, but only to see if you've changed your mind.

Lastly, we have the player. I know we're all familiar with this one, but I feel the need to mention him anyway. This guy will be beautiful and good with words. Even if girls know he's a player, somehow they still stick around. A lot of guys are tempted to try out to juggling tons of girls in college, so don't be surprised if he won't change for you!

I hope this helps you girls be smart recognize when you meet one of these guys! Did I miss any? Can you come up with another type of guy to look out for? Let me and the other readers know in the comments below!
